8. Clarabelle's Hand Scooped Ice Cream - Disney California Adv

Comment:

Enjoy hand-scooped Dreyer's ice cream or chocolate dipped ice cream cones.

"Good 'scream, skimpy portion"

The hand-scooped ice cream from Clarabelle's was quite delicious on the grand re-opening day of California Adventure, but I was disappointed by how much I got.  For one scoop, priced around $3.00, it barely filled my small cone, with nothing stuffed down inside, nor huge mounds heaped on top or dripping down the side.  I don't mind some drips now and then when it means a generous portion of ice cream.  The soft-serve cones at Paradise Pier offer a much larger amount.

My son was given his ice cream in a cup instead of a cone on accident, and they placed it onto the cone and it was a much larger amount of ice cream than I got.... so go for the cup!

All in all it was a pleasant experience with short lines in the afternoon and quick service.
